Resumen:
Regulation of gene expression by fatty acids is an event that takes place
inside the nuclei of eukaryotic cells, but the mechanisms of nuclear fatty
acids (FA) uptake is still incompletely understood. We have already
demonstrated that FA free or bound to L-FABP are incorporated into
metabolic active nuclear lipids pools by an acyl-CoA pathway. In these
experiments whole nuclei or isolated nuclear matrix (double membranedepleted
nuclei) were incubated in vitro with [14C]FA. The aim of the
present work was to determine if exogenous FA could be internalized to
endonuclear lipids (nuclear matrix). With this purpose, nuclear 20:4n-6
pools were labeled by in vitro incubation of isolated nuclei from rat liver
cells with [1-14C]20:4n-6, ATP and CoA at different times. After nuclear
labeling, matrix were isolated removing the double nuclear membrane by
incubation with 0.08% TX 100. Arachidonic acid was incorporated in
nuclear matrix lipid pools, as FFA and esterified to PL (PtdCho > PtdEtn
> PtdIns) and neutral lipids (TAG >> DAG). These endonuclear 20:4n-6
pools could provide and endogenous source of PPARá activating
ligands, as FFA and / or through an in situ regulated PL hydrolysis. In
conclusion, exogenous arachidonic acid not only is incorporated into
nuclear membrane, but also is internalized to endonuclear lipid pools as
FFA or esterified to PL and TAG.
